Church in England allows asylum seekers to exploit it

 C of E is naive about motives of migrants who convert yet watches real believers be persecuted

The story of Abdul Ezedi illustrates the policy black hole that is Britain’s asylum system. It also illustrates the moral black hole that is the Church of England.

Ezedi, who is suspected of throwing a chemical at a mother and her two young children, is an Afghan asylum seeker who in 2016 was smuggled into Britain in a lorry. His asylum claim was turned down twice, the second time after he was convicted of sexual assault and indecent exposure.

Later, however, he was given permission to remain in Britain after he claimed to have converted to Christianity and a priest vouched that he was “wholly committed” to his new religion.
